As with most of the posts, this is intended to be a growing post. If you are positively sickened by the lack of resources you were hoping were on here, then please know that is part of your genius saying, "I could do better!" and you should! Post your ideas in the reply, or let me know them at mary.vanguard@gmail.com. T-E-A-M: Together Everyone Achieves More, right? Or my adaptation: "I-E-P-T-I-F-I-A-H-T-E-A-M": If Everyone Puts Their Ideas For Imaginative Arts Here Then Everyone Achieves More"...okay, the first one is more catchy :).

Not sure if this is where you want this, but feel free to reorganize it! We've been looking at including short stories as part of this lens and here are a few that I found that I felt had merit. Some short stories are just weird!
ReplyDeleteScarlet Stockings by Louisa May Alcott
The Most Dangerous Game by Connell
The Minister's Veil by Hawthorne
The Necklace by Guy De Maupassant
The Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury
The Veldt by Ray Bradbury
The Gift of the Magi by O'Henry
The Mansion by Henry Van Dyke
The Tell-Tale Heart by Poe
The Sculptor's Funeral by Willa Cather
The Revolt of Mother by Freeman
The Devil and Daniel Webster by Stephen Vincent Benet
The Highwayman by Noyes
The Lottery by Jackson
The Speckled Band by Doyle
Some of these are darker in content, but since they were thought provoking, I have included them. Not saying that they would all be great for vanguard, but they certainly make you think. Anyway, you said to send stuff that is from our brainstorming, and so here they are!
Some resources our group is using:
ReplyDeleteWe will be going through the Artists in Stories of Great Artists by Olive Brown Horne with a few changes. We will also be using the Homebook of Great Paintings. Some months we will read about one painter in the first book and study 5 paintings of that artist(of their choosing) in the second book. Some months we will study one artist from the first book and the paintings of another in the second book.
So the artists we'll be studying this year (1400-1850) are:
Raphael
Michael Angelo
Sir Joshua Reynolds and Van Dyck
Rembrandt
Corot and Titan
Landseer and Correggio
Benjamin West (still looking for resources on him)
We are using the Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers for our musicians. Last year we studied the first 7 in the book, so this year we will be studying the next 7 (one per month):
Felix Medelssohn
Frederic Chopin
Franz Liszt
Richard Wagner
Charles Gounod
Cesar Franck
Anton Bruckner
The imaginative literature we will be studying is:
-Poetry (a youth is in charge of this so I'm not sure what type they'll have us do, but we'll do one different type per month)
-Apprentice Books: The Last Battle (theme - God) by Lewis, Moccassin Trail (theme - liberty) by McGraw.
-Journeyman Book (will be studied throughout the year: Pilgrim's Progress
-Short Stories (on the months we don't have the apprentice book):
Scarlett Stockings (Citizenship)
The Veldt (Citizenship)
The Necklace (Property)
Tell Tale Heart (Property)
The Mansion (Life and Pursuit of Happiness)
The Enchanted Wood (Leadership)
What Men Live By (Leadership or Society)
Stargirl (Society)
I hope that makes sense :-)

DeleteAs you're studying these people, check out Elbert Hubbard's "Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great." There are 14 volumes (including one on painters, one on artists, and one on musicians), all available for free. Here's a list you can refer to for who they include. http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/metabook?id=littlejourneys
ReplyDeleteFrom those I've read, some are better than others. Can't remember which, but one seemed like all it was was a look at the actual home, while others are great biographies of the person.
Also, "Music Talks for Children" was a beautiful book to study. The Art/Lit week was always a harder one to prepare for because I was working on the newsletter and preparing for my lens all at the time time, but that book is one I want to study more. Angie was using it in journeyman Art, and we got some incredible lessons from it.
ReplyDeleteHere is a place to read this one online for free as well
